Almost thirty years ago, Dr Mahathir had a dream to make Malaysia as a developed nation by 2020. He named that dream as Vision 2020. Now, we are at the end road about 2020. What, we as the people of this nation had achieved? What are our contributions to make this country great? Regrettably, we always blamed others especially, our leaders for any shortcomings. Then, who actually supported and elected these devious leaders?? We as the citizen and voters of this country, always elected leaders who are corrupted and misuse their powers. Should we have blamed these leaders or ourselves for the failure of this nation? A few days ago in Penang, a family of three young kids stayed in a car for eight months. When the media highlighted this family’s deplorable state then only steps had been taken to remedy the situation. Further, we have seen recently that our graduates are working as garbage collectors in our neighbouring country. There is nothing wrong working in that sector...

An Introduction Since 2017, the Ansar al-Sunna insurgent group which is associated with ISIS evacuated more than 430.000 people from Cabo Delgado province in northern Mozambique. Last month, these terrorists beheaded more than 50 people in the same province. Some local youth are attracted to this group’s false ideology because of poverty and unemployment issues. Last August, two female suicide bombers killed more than 14 people and at least 70 people were injured in Jolo, Southern Philippines. These attackers, who are widows of slain terrorists, used the improvised explosive devices to kill innocent people and a number of security forces. Further, they were affiliated with the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) which is known as Islamic State – East Asia Province. This has suggested that the terrorist attacks are to be led by females and young people. According to the recent American Enterprise Institute (AEI) report on youth and terrorism, terrorist groups like ISIS and al Shabaab designate...

Sabah’s election is just concluded. The people of Sabah elected a new government comprising various parties with a simple majority. The coalition of these parties is so fragile. The Chief Minister post becomes a debatable issue which was settled with adjustment from the leaders of this coalition. In the midst of Covid-19 pandemic, we have seen another melodrama orchestrated by our politicians. As an ordinary citizen of this beloved nation, I am so frustrated with these politicians.  Sabah was governed by a government elected by people. Then, a group politician who aspired to rule this state triggered a crisis. As a result, the legitimately elected government collapsed. This leads to the new state election which elicited the current spike ofCovid-19 cases in Malaysia.  As the leaders of this nation, I just wondered whether these leaders realised their role and what they were supposed to do to safeguard the interest of this nation and its people. By observing the current situati...

In the past six months, I am sitting at home and thinking about my country. Last February we had a new government, which was not elected by the people. The change of government has happened during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our leaders are too busy negotiating and securing for their positions. Did they bother about the nation and its people? I am not too sure about that. Their primary focus on securing their positions then looking after the interest of this nation. Now, their attention to Sabah election. Again, they are fighting to secure seats and talk about winning the election. Are they really bothering about this nation and its people? Again, I am not too sure. We elected them as our representatives to fight for our rights, but their focus is about their survival in politics. I am dumbfounded. Every week I have to buy groceries for my small family. Both of us are working. Fortunately, we are able to manage our expenses without any fuss. While I am doing my shopping, I c...

An Introduction Nineteen years ago on 9/11, the facade of international security has changed ever drastically. Terrorism and terrorist activities it not restricts itself with one territory or region. Terrorism is becoming a global issue. It has expanded from north to south and from west to east. After the Al Qaeda was defeated, then the world has seen more atrocities committed by ISIS. A couple of years ago, this group also had been defeated. In the Indian subcontinent and Afghanistan, there are new terrorist groups which affiliated, either with Al Qaeda or ISIS like Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS),  Jamaatul Ahrar,  Hizbul Ahrar and Jamaatul Ahrar and Hizbul Ahrar. Since 2018, under the US Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), the Secretary of State has included the ISIS-Philippines. ISIS-West Africa, ISIS-Greater Sahara, al-Ashtar Brigades (AAB), Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq (AAH...

An Introduction Terrorism is a disease. The innocent people including women and children are killed mercilessly by the terrorists in the name of false ideology. Lately, lone wolf terrorist attacks have become conspicuous and dangerous to detect and to prevent by the intelligence and security agencies. Even though the world is facing Covid-19 pandemic, terrorists find a way to kill ordinary people. Salafists-Jihadists Two months ago, a lone wolf was arrested by British Police after he attacked and killed three people at a Forbury Gardens in Reading. Khairi Saadallah was originally from Libya. Khairi is 25 years old. Even though the British Intelligence Agency had identified him but he is not considered as a high risk. Last February, Sudesh Amman, who was shot dead by police after he had stabbed two people in Streatham. Amman was 20 years old. Although he was considered by the British security forces as a potential threat, the limitations on their resources have restricted their ability ...

For me, to say I want to go to sleep and retire and prepare for my afterlife, I think that is very selfish. Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, The Straits Times – 22 January 2017. This statement is the reflection of ayahanda Tun’s true character. For many of us, he is father of this nation. His love for this nation is unprecedented. Even though he was retired in 2003 but made a comeback in 2018 as the seventh Prime Minster of Malaysia at the age of 93 years. He made a history. At this twilight age, most people would have a ‘quite’ life but not ayahanda.   The biggest question is why ayahanda had to return to active in politics at this age to ‘save’ Malaysia. What are the factors which have triggered him to take such a drastic decision? At that time, Malaysia’s reputation was at the stake because of the kleptocratic regime. In addition, the economic, social and political factors had triggered him to make a comeback. But, the main focal point of his return is the damaged r...

'We must each always think first of Malaysia, of the national need and least of ourselves. Everyone must try to help and see that the people are one-minded , with loyalty and one aim, to make Malaysia – the land we love-a happy abode for all of us . If we all do this then we can guarantee liberty , security , prosperity , and happiness for the future .’ Tunku Abdul Rahman Our founding father of this nation had a clear vision for our country. Even though, we are independence state but our minds still by colonized by ‘modern’ domestic imperialists. As Tunku has quoted we have to put the interest of this nation above own interest. Our love for this nation is unconditional. Further, he has aspired that if all Malaysians can work together than the country will be prospered in future. Our paramount duty as the citizens of this nation is to keep the sovereignty and create a better place for our next generation. Whether our country is on the right path to achieve th...

I abstained myself from writing current issues on politics.  I am so mad now because of the antics of our leaders. Let me tell one thing very clear and LOUD to you.  You have to listen to us.  We are your Master.  We are NOT your slaves.  Do you understand this simple language. We elected you to give us an affordable life and to look after your self. Please wake up from your misguided and false dreams. In a democracy country the aspirations of people are paramount.  With current economic debacle and bleak future ahead, please behave diligently. Manage the country economy wisely.  Many of us lost income and we are losing our jobs.  What are you going to do?  Some of us have huge family to feed but no income. Will you going to assist us? How?? You may live in your comfort zone surrounded by your family members and they are well fed but how about us?? What are your strategies?? ...

Man has dual nature; he is both his own person and a member of his country. On the one hand, the law must protect the individual from the injustices of the multitude.  History has shown how individuals fall prey to mass perversity, their crime being simply a refusal to conform to the beliefs and prejudices of the majority. Anwar Ibrahim, The Asian Renaissance, 1997., Page 63. The value system and ethical code therefore determine the success or failure of corrective measures. If the value system is wrong, corrective measures will not be productive or will be only slightly productive. When the value system motivates, very little corrective measures are needed. Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, The Malay Dilemma, 1970., Pages 172-173. Introduction Malaysia is our motherland. We love our country. This country has so much of wealth. Even though, Malaysia has agonized considerably in past three decades because of the malpractices of the corrupted characters but she is never fail t...
